‘We are looking at all individuals involved in the events leading up to, during, and after the beating of Tyre Nichols,’ the district attorney’s office says
Memphis prosecutors could bring more criminal charges against police officers and others involved in the events leading up to and following the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols, the county district attorney said in a statement on Twitter on Tuesday.
Last week five other officers – all of them Black – were charged with second-degree murder and dismissed from the force. “We are looking at all individuals involved in the events leading up to, during, and after the beating of Tyre Nichols,” the office said, adding that the investigation is incomplete.
In the video, it is Hemphill who appears to fire a stun gun at Nichols after Nichols is dragged from his car, forced to the ground and doused with pepper spray before he breaks free and runs away. The five officers who were later dismissed chased him.
